Israel tried to frustrate US lawsuit over Pegasus spyware, leak suggests
Officials seized documents from NSO Group to try to stop handover of information about notorious hacking tool, files suggest
The Israeli government took extraordinary measures to frustrate a high-stakes US lawsuit that threatened to reveal closely guarded secrets about one of the world’s most notorious hacking tools, leaked files suggest.
Israeli officials seized documents about Pegasus spyware from its manufacturer, NSO Group, in an effort to prevent the company from being able to comply with demands made by WhatsApp in a US court to hand over information about the invasive technology.
Documents suggest the seizures were part of an unusual legal manoeuvre created by Israel to block the disclosure of information about Pegasus, which the government believed would cause “serious diplomatic and security damage” to the country.
WhatsApp har saksøkt NSO.med krav om utlevering av info.
Da kontakter NSO israelske myndigheter, som beslaglegger utstyr hos NSO slik at info ikke kan utleveres til den amerikanske domstolen der saken føres.
Tydeligvis øsnker ikke Israel at NSO sine metoder skal eksponeres.
